mdnky is on a distinguished road
I made the mistake of dropping the RAM settings for Parallels on my setup. Went from 1.25GB for XP Pro SP2 to 768MB. BIG DIFFERENCE in speed. Switched it back and performance was up again. Its now at 1GB and runs much better. Wouldn't suggest running anything lower. Amazing that 256MB makes that much of a difference.
